Jeter homers on first pitch in return to Yankees

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter returned to the New York Yankees’ lineup — again — with customary flair, making an immediate impact on a team desperate for power.

Jeter homered on the first pitch he saw from Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore, connecting soon after being activated from the disabled list for the second time this month. The captain’s drive ended the Yankees’ nine-game homerless drought. It was New York’s first long ball by a right-hander since June 25.

Jeter received a loud ovation and came out for a very quick curtain call, waving his cap from the next-to-top step of the Yankees dugout.
